That would be awesome!

Elliot,

Did you think that it might have been because YOU were there?

I have only attended a few shows since 2010 when I finally had a running car:
MUSR: Mid US Ramble
RRC: Red Rocks Classic
Route 66 Classic
Kansas German Car Club Das Sonnenblumen Autofest

I'd really like to make a WCR one day. Its been in mid-May for the last few years (I think) and that is about the worst time for me. Had kids graduating high school & college, family trip every year at Memorial Day, etc. Maybe if its down in SoCal again, I can make a quick getaway...

We won't make it to this RT66, but are planning on being at the RRC.

Mike, the left coast is pretty PC, so they may not make fun of your pink car at WCR.

DAMMIT! It isn't pink!

Not at all. It was because everyone else was there.

Nice! One of my life lessons learned too late is: "It is hard to kick humility in the teeth"

OK, reservations made at both hotels

John, I'll be attending solo, so please update your list to reflect (1) for the meals, etc, but I am ordering (2) shirts (1 for Dianne and 1 for myself)

Thanks for organizing this again, John ... and looking forward to seeing all you 914 Goobers there


... now, to get the 'BB' in driveable condition

Hey Elyut, how come your wife never makes these events??
a: She went to one but ran into Ron.
b: She hates 914's
c: She hates you.
d: There's no wife and your finally coming out of the closet this year.
e: You don't want to spend the extra $$$.

Never mind ...

That was John not Elliot I think.

I would drop money on "a".

Not true. She attended the 2006 West Cost Ramble in Portland. I know 'cause I saw her with my own eyes.

When I sped read through it I thought I read: She can to an event but it was with Ron...

You left out choice f:

She heard someone telling stories about Troy.

It does look like an excellent "Route 66" event is going take place. All the places and the roads leading to the event do provide experiences as well as meeting with the different participants.

I am jealous!! I no longer live in Flagstaff and really do miss driving the roads you will be taking. This year looks like it will be the first time I will have a 914 running and I am not in Flagstaff. I will be taking it to the WCR in Medford in May which is going to be a first. Still building but the car is with the painter and hoping to get it back by the end of February; then assembly and whatever.

We may join you in a couple of years since we are planning on buying a second home in the Albuquerque area.

Can a Non-Participant purchase a shirt? I will need to know where to send the money and what the postage costs are. I probably take an xxl. Please let me know if I can purchase.

Have a great time since it is a great event for us 914 caretakers!

Posting on this thread makes you a participant.

Yes, shirts are available to all. $20 plus $5 for postage.
I will send you a PM with payment details.

Thanks for your support. You will be with us in spirit.

The two *official* threads are neck and neck in post counts.

Well then - here is a 3am

It would be a courtesy for me if the organizers could compile a list of tours in western Nebraska or north Texas. They need to be easily gotten to from an inexpensive motel by U-haul truck with trailer towing broken down white 914. It is cold and gloomy and my confidence is low. Were you clobbered this past couple weeks Rick?

$2.25 in Vegas, $1.85 in Flagstaff, and $1.90 in Prescott.

I'd like to take a moment to thank Cali refineries for their special pricing

If mine makes it, it will be 7 and 7. Official drink or should we count swaps and hope for another 7?

How we doing now?

Is it time yet??

She actually met Ron briefly at one of Joe Sharps barbeques. I don't think that's the reason though. After the Portland WCR, she said, "So that's it"? "All you do at these things is stand around in the parking lot, drink, and talk about your cars"? And I said, "yup, pretty much". Here she is with our good friend Sean Connery.

I thought Sean Connery was younger.

Elyut lends a bit of class to our parking lot bullshit endeavors, IMHO.

And, I can see why most wives would opt out of our foolishness. My wife already thinks I give more attention and love to an automobile than her.

Why would she torture herself with the obvious truth by attending this event?

I've been keeping my eye on gas prices as well ... leaving So Cal for Payson on Monday. I saw one station in CA just before the AZ border selling for $1.42/gal

The rest of AZ looks to be between $1.55 & $2.00 depending on the 'brand name'. Hoping it stays like this for a while, I'll be making a few trips back & fort

I saw $ 1.45 Friday in Superior WI.

Not so far this year. Knock on wood. All the weather is passing below us. If you have rent the U-Haul to get out of the snow you can always turn it in when you hit clear roads. Last year we left on clear roads and hit bad weather south of Mpls...

You clearly married well out of your league.

No, I will be able to drive to warmth. The U-Haul reference was about getting back home. When we went to the '14 Teenerfest the alternator shaft bushing separated from the pulley sheave where it was friction welded. NAPA isn't gonna have one of them! Fortunately I was within 75 miles of the meeting and there were extras there. Else the U-Haul. We went for my birthday and I got a jump pack as a present.

Rooms are booked.

Sorry Jim, and De. I was trying to modify the count for euro911 and you took the hit instead.
I can't imagine how I could have made a mistake like that.



Yes. More Bad Coffee please. (I will trade you for the event shirts.)

Coffee it is,, I won't forget to bring you your coffee.

Pencil it in, all subject to making some final progress the next couple of weeks.

Hmmmm......,

Jim - Are you thinking about making the trip? That would be awesome!

A wink is as good as a nod. I'd say Jim is in.

I really would like too.... working on a plan

Be great to see you there Jim,, this time I will get the beer you owe me..
